This is a beautiful play In whlcb tbe little children of many families take part, and Is also for a Kood cause, and we have no doubt but all wbo attend will be highly euter rained. BEAUTIFUL MONTH OK ROSES. Ami a *r nf War lh A 1 tJMteiuajT vrtu tuu uiov uu., J beautiful month ? roses, and In looking over the lovely flower gardens of Abbeville, the verdict would De that ibe month of May should be crowded "queen" of all the months. STORES CLOSING AT 6 O'OlOCk. ,? ' jSMH On yesterday nearly all of our stores oommenced to olose at 6 o'olock, and all enjoy a little recreation. How nice It would be if every store would close, then no ontf would have the advantage over the other aod no one would lose anytulug by it, as; the trade knowing the closing hour would soon AUI Into the move and be none the worse off for It. Clerks who have been worked bard ail through the busy season, not only appreciate, but need this out door recreation, aod after enjoying It, will render better service to their employers. Run through the winter, day and night and frequently without- dinner, then worked from It to 15 hours through -the hoi dull months of summer Is too much for any oue. The old ada?e Is a true one. "All! work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." ' - JJ1G HICYCLE PARADE. ? ...s. J There are over one hundred wheels In Abbeville, besides, (j. P. Hammond bin a large number always on hand for rest, then why noc let our wheelmen organise a bicycle club -c- - nirtKM to be Known as me A.uoeviiie x>ic/uic vmu and go to work aod get op some amusements for our people. The btcycl e parade several years ago was a grand success, and greatly eujoyed by everyone.. Oar people mast "wake" up, or they will have nothing to do after 6 o'clock bat loaf around and hold up the Btreet corners. We believe In an aggrtis> Hive movement* In plqasare, as well as In business. The Abbeville base ball team organized last Monday night, and electedO. H. Cobb as general manager. They will have fcbelr'team ready for the diamond by the l?l of Jane and will be "open to the world." \ 4ftOOOD HAN RETIRED. Mr. J. M.

J. L. JOHNSON ON DUTY. t? Mr. J. L. Johnson Is Mr. Klrby'6 successor and will not only be on tbe police staff, but will be "street foreman" for tbe city, whose duty will be to oversee all work lug of tbe public streets and roads In tbe city limits. Mr. Johnson Is a practical man, and having a good deal of experience In road working, will be another good roan In tbe right place and will, we believe, fill the place wltn credit to blmself, at* well as to tbe satisfaction ol our citizens. J. S. FISHES SUCCEEDED BY MB. O'BBIEN. Mr. J. S. Fisher who has been on the police staff of this city for 9 years has resigned. As an officer, Mr. Fisher was (earless and brave, knowing nothing but duty, and when tried was always fouud ready and equal to any emergency.

The Description Doesn't Hit Anybody In Abbeville. Greenville News. We are not booming anything specially? Just talking on general principles. Did you ever think anything about your own town? the town you live and do business In? Do .vou have any pride In It or hope for It? What Is your Idea about It. aoybow? Have nr?n anv sentiment about It? Do you care a snap of your finger whether people outside of it speak of It as a live town, a good town, a growingand flourishing town, or whether they laugh derisively and Bay it Is dead and played out and no place for live people to live? 80 long as your own premises are in fairly good repair, does it make any dlflerenoe to you whether the rest of your town is a mass of tumbllog, shabby, ramshackle desolation and dilapidation?houses rusty and ooming to pieces, fences leaning six ways for Sunday, stores dusty and grimy and empty, streets mud holes and ruts, sidewalks mere paths through the weeds in summer and sticky, slippery and treacherous in winter? Have you any ambition for your town? whoever and wherever you are?any sentiment about it? On the other hand, have you any ambition or purpose for yourself or your children? If von have, does It strike you that you can do much for yourself or those who are to cornel after you In a dead town? J>ld you ever know any business, big or little, no matter what It waS, that conld flourish In a dead town ? Supposing you to have the ordinary kindly Instincts of humanity and that your selfishness?which you have in common with all bumanltj?Is enlightened, what is your Idea about your own town? Do you caloulate on letting somebody else do all tbe work and spending and pushing while you sit still, a drone In tbe hive,and simply look on? Do yon figure on always reaping where you have not sown, gathering Indefinitely where yon have not labored? Don't you suppose otber people will get tired of pulling you and a lot of other dead weight and quit In disgust, or go away to where they can find somebody more congenial and where their eflorts will umAncoo Want, thom to bo away, eh ? Don't like to be stirred ap, eb f You look at your town If It is prospering and see wbo has made it prosper, or if it seems dead and see wbo bus made it so,and Just'how much your slotb and unintelligent selflsbuegs atid penny wile ponnd foolish, saving-at-tbe spigot-andwastlng-at-tba bung, waltln'g-for-somebodyelse<to-aot-and -then -discouraging- them allyan-conid policy bas done to make it dead.

Take an active, intelligent Interest In every, thing that is proposed for the advantage of yourown town. Oo to meetings and serve on committees when you are wanted. Encourage everybody who is trying to do something for your own town. Give an hour or two of this occasionally for the publlo and general service, and let go a dollar or two now and thai in the same oanse. * 3oJrtelf j "Can't I get out of doing anything** i 20X IF YOU HAVE NO' YOU CAN DO S i- ' ' Whatever, as we they are : \ .1 ' -> ' I mm'-- v ^ . ?' .teen .
